The pelvis is a major structure transmitting body weight from the spine to the hip joints and ground reaction force from the hip joints to the spine. If the pelvis is uneven, the spine creates curves which is called “Scoliosis”.
The uneven pelvis is one of the major cause of leg length difference. This imbalance gives more pressure on the shorter side of hip and back causing muscle and joint stiffness.
Solution:
Sacroiliac joint (SI joint) is the connection between the spine and pelvis. Since it bears high pressure all the time, it is common having trigger points and scar tissues in the surrounding ligaments and muscles. It can be the direct cause of the pain during the movement.
If SI joint does not move smoothly due to the accumulated scar tissues, it can restrict the movement of the hip joints and spine decreasing functional abilities.
Solution:
If there were some injuries in the ligament or joint in the pelvis such as childbirth or fall, the pelvis can be unstable while doing strenuous activities. This instability can be a source of pain since the brain interprets it as a threat while moving the joint.
Solution:
Muscle imbalance can be a source of your pain due to an improper exercise program and lack of stretching. The most common area is the hip flexor (iliopsoas muscle group), piriformis, quadratus lumborum trigger points and scar tissues along with weak gluteus maximus and abdominal muscles.
